The built-in devices of all vehicles are the same.

Yes, it comes with instructions.

You can use either phone, but if you have both in the car, it will connect to the last paired phone.

Nope! After you set it up, your phone will pair with it autosomally as soon as you start the car every time.

When your car is powered off you can see the device light indicator is off, you can pretty much be sure it won‘t drain the battery of your car. 

Google Maps work with CarPlay. Whatever apps you use for Android or apple that works with CarPlay would work as well.

 As long as you leave the application open, it connects immediately when you get in the car.  

You can lock your phone while it is connected to the device.

All buttons work just like the original car system in our carlinkit 3.0

If you have CarPlay on your head unit, this allows it to play wirelessly. And plugging in the USB on the other end of the cable of the Carlinkit so you can still use it for other things (charging, radar, etc.).

The backup camera can show up on the screen when you are parking

You can use wireless connect through wifi or use wired connect by cable option.

 

You can have more phones in the device memory, but only one at a time will work. if several phones are paired with the device and whoever is using the car, the device connects with the nearby phone.

The phone battery does not seem to drain any faster than normal. Also, you can plug in a charger that will allow your phone to stay at a high battery volume. 

This is a problem with communication protocol. BMW's head unit system is not unified with other car's head unit systems, so there is no way to be compatible. All BMW's wireless converters are always separate, and they are not suitable for adapters of other models.
